July is National Ice Cream Month

Few dessert options offer more ways to adorn and accessorize than ice cream: sprinkles, cherries, whipped cream, chocolate/caramel sauce, and nuts are all musts at any ice cream party.

Creative options include a Strawberry Sundae on a cone: vanilla ice cream with strawberry mousse icing on chocolate coated sugar cones.

Another creation from CBHE is the ice cream taco: vanilla ice cream topped with choclolate drizzle, chantilly whipped cream with a fresh raspberry on top nestled in a Cinnamon toast crunch dessert taco shell.

Cakes By Happy Eatery’s Victoria Wu Demonstrates ways to take part

As far as I’m concerned, every day is an ice cream day, but these celebrations give us a good exuse to go on TV and talk about one of our all-time favorite desserts.”
— Victoria Wu, Co-Owner of Cakes By Happy Eatery
MANASSAS, VA, UNITED STATES, July 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Victoria Wu from Cakes By Happy Eatery (CBHE) visited Fox 5 DC’s Good Day show (https://www.fox5dc.com/video/1675497) yesterday to help the on air team celebrate National Ice Cream month, and to get everyone ready for National Ice Cream Day this Sunday July 20th. July as a dedicated month goes back to 1984, when then president Ronald Reagan actually signed a proclamation for it.

“As far as I’m concerned,” says Wu, co-owner of the Manassas baking institution CBHE, “every day is an ice cream day, but these celebrations give us a good exuse to go on TV and talk about one of our all-time favorite desserts.”

Wu loves ice cream dessert tables at events and gatherings that feature key ingredients and toppings: sprinkles, cherries, whipped cream, chocolate/caramel sauce, and nuts. She adds, “why not jazz things up with special candies, gummy bears, cereals, cookies, marshmallow and cotton candy?” She’s also a fan of chocolate coated cups, and of pre-scooping ice cream balls when a larger group is involved.

When it comes to celebration ideas and categories, Wu says you have lots of choice: sundaes, ice cream cookies, floats (root beer and beyond), parfaits and even donuts. In short, there is way more than a month of enjoyment here, however you choose to use the culture’s favorite dessert form!

About National Ice Cream Month

July is officially designated as National Ice Cream Month in the United States, a celebration established in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan. The third Sunday in July is also recognized as National Ice Cream Day. This month-long celebration encourages people to enjoy the popular frozen treat with friends and family. The ice cream industry contributes significantly to the U.S. economy, supporting jobs and generating billions in revenue, according to the International Dairy Foods Association (https://www.idfa.org). The average American consumes about 20 pounds of ice cream annually, and most ice cream companies are family-owned with long histories, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
